Myanmar: Insight into a Living Culture

We are so indebted to the wonderful veena music that Keshav Mohta has offered for use on our recent podcast episodes. In addition to the music, Keshav also appeared on a guest on our recent “Love Letters to Myanmar: Gratitude and Growth” episode. Take a listen if you’ve not already!

To learn more about Keshav, his life and work revolves around ancient Indian wisdom systems inquiring into the nature of the non dual consciousness. He has a deep interest in the re construction and contemporary application of the ancient wisdom systems. The arts, including music and movement are integral to his approach. Keshav offers inter disciplinary sessions and retreats. For more information to go his site, Dharmayog.

Concerning his visit to Myanmar, Keshav offers the additional comment:

“My time in Burma in 2010 gave me an insight into a living culture unlike any other I had seen which was deeply rooted within an understanding of inter connected existence. I had a taste of how a social fabric could possibly be created out of a perspective of deep insight into the human condition and the laws of nature (the dharma). It made me reflect on the contemporary notion of development and inquire into socio-cultural and economic fabrics in different parts of the planet and the extent to which these were aligned within a wider view of evolution. With the passage of time, I was also reminded of how living cultures could be very easily destroyed due to myopic views and the collective responsibility we have as a species to handle with wisdom and care what we inherit from our ancestors.”
